Description

Young Farmers Champions Network (YOFCHAN) is a network of young Agri-entrepreneurs (14 - 40 years) working together to shape the future of agribusiness. It was formed by a group of visionary young agriprenuers who hustled their way to make it in agribusiness. Having started without the necessary skills to run an agribusiness enterprise, no clear agribusiness ideas, limited resources amidst unreliable markets, we decided to start Young Farmers Champions Network to support fellow young farmers with the necessary entrepreneurial skills to run agri-business enterprises, incubate their agribusiness ideas into viable businesses, provide affordable finances and link them to sustainable markets for them to embrace farming as a cool and profitable business.

Testimonials

Young Farmers Champions Network was formed by ambitious young farmers with a mission of creating sustainable youth-led agribusiness enterprises in Uganda. As we were grappling on how to do it, GSBI gave us an opportunity. Its mentorship has helped us define cleary the direction of our organisation and how to get there.
